Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Did Andy not say he was going to play differently this time? Yet to see any evidence of that but may have got him confused with someone else. Goon lists at this point are utterly pointless. Just allows the goons to hide behind them this early in the game.

My reasoning for goon lists even early on are for 3 reasons. firstly it’s fun when not in a team and if you guess some right it is fun. Secondly it does make the goons have to think whether to do one (or do a Shapes and put all her fellow goons on it 😆). thirdly it gives a way to let info out to the town from masons. If all masons do one they can put folk on that haven’t been investigated and it helps further along when masons get killed.

They're not going to be expensive to pick up, anything from between £5 and £10 for any of them. They're basically fantasy novels that poke fun at several aspects of modern day life. Soul Music is a poke in the eye for the music business, Moving Pictures satires the movie industry and Small Gods, one of the best ones he ever did, takes a swipe at religion. They're pretty silly but they contain one of the best recurring characters in British literature. Death. There are some that are a series, The Watch series for example. The follow the same characters throughout and some are standalone novels that don't really fit into a larger narrative. If you're going to read one, go with Mort. It's widely regarded as his best one. TL;DR: They're class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colour of Magic & The Light Fantastic are book one and two and they do a good job of explaining the Discworld. You don't really need to have a full understanding of the world they're set in to jump into any of them. TCOM is still one of the more popular ones because it features Rincewind (the doc in this game). I'd say take your pick from that, Small Gods, Mort or any of the ones that prominently feature Death. He tends to be the main character in most of the really popular ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambosean75 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 From the Witches and Rincewind to Death himself, Terry Pratchett’s Discworld characters have become truly iconic over the past thirty years. This handy guide will introduce you to key lead characters in the Discworld series, and tell you which books are about them. Death Death is, as you’d expect, a tall, hooded skeleton with a scythe, and SPEAKS IN A VOICE LIKE THE SLAMMING OF COFFIN LIDS. However, he also likes a good curry, and kittens, and finds the lives of mortals endlessly fascinating. The Hogfather Mort Soul Music Reaper Man Sam Vimes & The City Watch Sam Vimes is an old-fashioned copper. He, and the City Watch he commands, started in the gutter (one outside a pub), and Vimes takes care not to forget it, wearing extra thin boots so he can feel the streets of his city as he proceeds along them, cigar in hand, gimlet eyes peeled not just for crime, which being extremely cynical he suspects everyone of, but also injustice, which makes him very angry. Feet of Clay The Fifth Elephant Guards! Guards! Jingo Men At Arms Night Watch Snuff Thud! The Witches Discworld’s witches, based around the rural and mostly vertical kingdom of Lancre, deliver babies, treat warts and keep an eye on troublesome kings, vampires or incursions from other worlds, which they do not hold with. They don’t have leaders, but Granny Weatherwax is the most highly regarded and steely of the leaders they don’t have, assisted by Nanny Ogg – mother of fifteen and brewer of lethally strong cider. Wyrd Sisters Witches Abroad Lords and Ladies Carpe Jugulum Maskerade Equal Rites The Wizards Rincewind is the Disc’s most useless wizard – he can’t even spell wizzard, and his most notable talent is running away, very fast. But somehow whenever anyone wants a wizard for a terrifying quest, it is Rincewind they call on. The other wizards of Unseen University aren’t much better, spending more time studying the common room biscuit tin than mystical tomes – but they occasionally stretch to some magic between elevenses. The Colour of Magic The Light Fantastic The Last Continent Unseen Academicals Sourcery Interesting Times Moist von Lipwig Moist von Lipwig is a cheat and a swindler and a conman. So he’s the natural choice whenever an ailing institution like the Post Office or the Royal Bank needs new management. With a taste for flashy suits and even flashier publicity stunts, he takes on some of the worst jobs on the Disc and battles even bigger crooks than himself. Going Postal Making Money Raising Steam Tiffany Aching Tiffany Aching is a young witch – as well as a social worker and cheese maker extraordinaire. She hails from a long line of shepherds and has a powerful connection with the Chalk where she lives. Wherever Tiffany goes, it’s almost certain that there will be a horde of tiny fightin’, boozin’ blue men in kilts – the Nac Mac Feegles – not far away.

jambosean75 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Small Gods In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was: 'Hey, you!' Buy Now Choose Format Synopsis ‘Just because you can’t explain it, doesn’t mean it’s a miracle.’ On the Discworld, religion is a controversial business. Everyone has their own opinion, and indeed their own gods, of every shape and size, and all elbowing for space at the top. In such a competitive environment, shape and size can be pretty crucial to make one’s presence felt. So it’s certainly not helpful for the Great God Om to find himself in the body of a tortoise, a manifestation far below god-like status in anyone’s book. In such instances, you need an acolyte, and fast. Brutha, the novice, is the Chosen One – or at least the only one available. He wants peace and justice and brotherly love. He also wants the Inquisition to stop torturing him now, please… The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Small Gods is a standalone novel.
